Integrated in a picturesque setting in Normandy, France, among orchards and forests, the minimalist G Home by Lode Architecture demonstrates that 25 square meters are much more than enough for building a comfy crib. The monochrome building was constructed making use of laminated wooden panels and slate cladding, which reacts to the altering skies of Normandy.

Once inside, guests will come across cozy, yet hollow volumes and furnishings arrangements reflecting practicability more than something else: “A series of load-bearing walls, produced of wooden panels, carve the space. Openings, reduce in their thickness, create approaches, frame interior views or invite the nearby landscape in. By making use of the effects of superimpositions and gaps, these image windows give a kaleidoscopic vision of the property and its inhabitants“. Durability, aesthetics and integration within the nearby landscape were the primary objectives of the architects when building the project. [Photography by Daniel Moulinet]
